The issue briefing titled “Limited Visibility: Making Information Available on Outpatient Surgery in California” mandates public disclosure of all relevant information about quality, safety and price in a user-friendly way. CASA supports these efforts.
“The California Ambulatory Surgery Association is committed to patient safety and quality of care. We strongly support robust efforts to implement measures that would allow for a transparent and efficient system, delivering the best care to all patients and providing access to information when making critical decisions about their healthcare to ensure the best outcomes,” said the statement.
CASA works on behalf of more than 700 medicare-certified ASCs in the state.
